Keep 6 inches (152 mm) clear from the wall and on all sides. Always use appliance on a dry, stable, level surface.
Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a countertop oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
A fire may occur if the countertop oven is covered, touching or near flammable materials, including curtains, draperies, towels, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
North American models with polarized plugs:

POLARIZED PLUG:

This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS:

A short power-supply cord or detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
b. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally; and
c. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.

NOTICES

Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances.
Do not set the heated unit on a finished wood table. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your countertop oven to prevent possible damage to the surface.
During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/ or odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses.
